There is a huge change in coding coming to the health industry on October 1. Med students and brand new doctors will probably do fine because their training has included coding and data input. Older docs who believe in a strong relationship with their patients and rely on experience and visual cues are going to have difficulty. Every symptom will have a number and those numbers will add up to a government defined treatment plan. I can see the time when we will all be sitting down in front of a computer, filing out a form ourselves and bean counters behind the scene will have already defined what we need without any personal input from an experienced Medical Doctor. A Ben Carson as Surgeon General could certainly go a long way toward stopping this madness called Obamacare this is ruining one of the best medical systems in the entire world.
I only see my GP when I break something or slice something, it is at that time he says “Hey” you haven’t had bloodwork etc and he does his thing, we argue about beer and eggs and bacon ...
My bloodwork is consistantly better than his and I do not follow his dietary reccomendations ... (I like Meat, Eggs and Beer)
My Buddy (we are friends) is a Veggie, Red Wine kinda guy, he weighs less than I (tall with no Beer Gut) but he is a lousy Fisherman ... he is really good at cleaning them though!
